Pat is a great guy, and I will miss him. Played golf with him a number of times and enjoyed his company on the course, and at St. Ann’s, but look forward to seeing him again in heaven. Unable to make the wake as we’re visiting family in Florida. May Pat Rest In Peace. Our heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers for comfort and consolation go out to Pat’s family.and friends. Shalom.

Cecelia, I am so sorry for your loss. Pat was a good man. Whenever we saw each other, whether in church or at the K of C meetings he would always give me big bear hug. He helped me a lot.
